Please tell me that the sorry rack of VHS tapes in the background isn't the entirety of your home video collection. If it weren't for that I'd say you and I were probably related. I don't have any cute asian arm candy though. Just lots of DVD's...

Oh no, that was at a friends house. I have much more DVDs. He on the otherhand, doesn't. FIH: Thanks, I can show you where I got the suit

Yeah, show me a girl that looks hot with no make up on, that's the one I'll take before the best looking 'on-camera' porn star.

I'm engaged now, but seriously, I agree. Â If you are a chatty guy (and I am) and you are interested in the fashion business you meet a lot of people, especially women. Â In L.A., a lot of girls I happened to come to know had done porn or were doing porn - a pretty messed up bunch, in general. Â One lesson I learned: Â the more people talk about what they do being okay, the more screwed up they are about it. Â Jon, you're 100% right. Â A girl with her head on straight and is reasonably attractive is a better prospect than any porn star. Â As for this:

None of the girls was any hotter than random girls I see at the mall, which was pretty dissappointing.

there's a adage in the porn industry to the effect that they'll take any guy who is able and any girl who is willing. Â (As an aside, one of my buddies was willing, but just couldn't bring himself to at the end.)

Actually, I just met a few pornstars last week at a club. They were in Hawaii during the pro bowl week doing gentlemen's clubs. I guess they were looking to bank from the numerous NFL stars that frequent those joints during that time. They seemed pretty nice and down to earth. The girls, Charmane Star and Teanna Kai were pretty good looking too. I think they were better looking in person than on print or video. However, I do agree that pron stars are pretty messed up in general. You can just tell by reading about what goes on with them. Although I must say, I was pretty awestruck when my buds and I were hanging out with them. Its probably due to the fact that we were a bunch of 21 year old horn dogs.

Yeah, well, exposing all their neuroses wouldn't have been too much fun for the patrons, huh? It's pretty easy to act normal for a few hours. It's the rest of the time... Of course, there are bound be be exceptions both ways.

I must admit it was a bit accidental as I had the sleeve slightly pulled back, hence the extra half-inch. Â It actually works out to about a half-inch in normal "resting" position, but when you play, it extends out to a full inch (which looks fine by me). koji
